Seems to stiffen up the board a bit too much, making the softer tips more of an issue.

I thought of Burton Cartels but being a stiff binding, I'm worried it'll force the board around too much. But I guess that's skill relevant. General rule question, does it mean if the board is a mid flex, the binding should be mid flex too?

depends what sort of ride you're looking for.. soft for park and stiff for more mountain. that doesnt limit you to those options though, its all personal preference.

just out of curiosity, how is the flex on this board? looking into getting one this year for park/groomer riding but worried it could be a little stiff for butterring given the camber underfoot? im 6'2, 190ish for reference and for comparison i ride a 157w k2 parkstar and 161.5 t rice pro that i find fairly easy to butter but mainly because of the profile.. soooo capita DOA, soft or stiff??

bueller...??

hopefully a few people have ridden this board by now.. still curious about the flex for buttering and the width for sz 12 feet?

I wouldn't say I can butter on this board better than the GNU Carbon Credit I brought along with me to Austria in December.

It has a flex rate of 6 and I think it's better for cruising down the mountain.

Not that I am a pro, but I took this to Niseko too in March (just this board) and the float over powder is not bad. Predictable.

But it bites you in the arse too if you're not careful with the edge. The softer boards you tend to ollie butter or snap out of trouble with a slight jib. Not so with this. Again, think I need more time on the mountain.
